@LandinBenkowski I looked up elliot smith and I disagree, elliot is not at all unpleasant but honestly it just doesn't work for me on the same level as Drake. The only similarity worth noting is that they were both tortured souls. Drake used a reel to reel tape recorder and his guitar and was occasionally backed by real people playing instruments. Elliot used digital mixing etc and on his best day on earth could never play the guitar like Drake.
74 dislike this. But i can guarantee that not one of them could write a song as good as Nick Drake, hes a musician who makes you are glad your alone listening to his music, as the music GRABS you
When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you began When the day is done. When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold When the bird has flown Got no-one to call your own Got no place to call your home When the bird has flown
When the game's been fought You speed the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you would have thought Now the game's been fought. When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through. When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done.
I think they could of covered each other and no one would have known the difference
Nick Drake sounds more elegant with all the classical guitar and strings in the background, but if you gave him a drummer, a lead guitarist and some madman on keyboards he would be The Doors. The only missing part is the fact I have never heard Nick Drake scream or yell, he looks like a wounded deer, not to be insulting, he just looks wounded like Leonard Cohen.
Such a powerful song. Makes me scream and makes me sad at the same time. It just hits me directly. I cry on this. Unbelievable, greetings from Croatia.
I will never understand why people label Nick Drake as 'depressing' because of how his life ended. Listen to Bryter Later now and its like a summers day :)
I hate that people get upset comparing Nick Drake to Elliott Smith. They were both brilliant and they would probably be disgusted by people who don't appreciate what each did. They would have appreciated each other's music. Think about it.
I can't listen to this song... I can feel his emotions this song and it makes me very sad. I wish he hadn't died so early, he would have made it really big.
@SuperTomo1965Nick Drake is a league apart from any other songwriter in this genre, he excels at this kind of song. Eliott Smith could never attain to the level of songwriting Nick Drake produced and will always be on he b list in comparison. and anyone who agrees with this can you please contact me on tomo1965@mail.com
I can't believe I haven't heard about him before especially considering I am really into music from this era. I guess it just shows how clearly underrated he is.
Its unbelievable the power of Nicks music even now. Influencing people and musicians the world over probably a whole more than he ever could have dreamed.

this is something specials i love this and hey im just a new artist and its so hard now adays to get some attention so i try it here. maybe i fail maybe not but i hope you guys can help me because its my really last chance to live my life
The main reason I write songs is because of the influence of Nick Drake. He was such a wonderful songwriter and though I could never be as brilliant as him I will always be trying. The old saying that "only the good die young", as never been so true when it is applied to Nick.
This is such increadible music; "Lost much sooner than we would have thought"- Sadly fitting ): . Will one day get a first press of Five Leaves Left. R.I.P to the greatest folk musician to grace the UK/

Nick Drake is one of the lost greats. He should be put up near the top of the singer/songwriter lists. His use of obscure chords and amazing melodies is unparalleled. R.I.P Nick. You are missed by many
why do i feel like there aren't many musicians left who are full of sentiment, loneliness and an intimate honest feel to them???? you guys listening to this should check out this album, something tells me you'd connect with it..... indie singer/songwriter Renee Goust: youtube[DOT]com/playlist?list= PL6D8C834C2494A3C
This song is brilliant! Though ALL of his songs are. I wish more people knew of his wonderful songs. Thank god some people still believe in true music. Nick, your music will always have a special place in my heart.
A pink moon hangs in a northern sky, a fruit tree grows down by the river,man. The black eyed dog belongs to a man in a shed. Thumbed a free ride from the rider on the wheel. Three hours on the road, ended up in Mayfair. Saw Joey and Hazey Jane too. What a place to be, in the thoughts of Mary Jane. At the chime of a city clock time has told me the way to blue. Was hanging on a star until up came the saturday sun. Which will? you ask,in the time of no reply.Fly from the morning til day is done.

Nicks voice always bring me to tears because of his tragic and short life. Such a brilliant musician without success then. It is a shame that he had to die first to become famous. I listen to his music every day, so beautiful and timeless. I visited his grave on September 27th. Just discovered him one year ago...i adore him!
@jayhawksam no it's a reference to the packages of rolling paper of the brand rizla that had a warning in them that there were only "five leaves left"
i love this song, i think more people need to look at music the way they should look at people. who cares what color people are or what the artist has done in his or her past, its what they created, what they have to say or sing that matters.
Fuck you all. A beautiful composition by a long dead, timeless artist, and you children are squabbling over idiotic semantics. You are the reason he never fit in.
I don't know hom much energy and time ppl spend criticizing other people's tastes, even in the comments of this song. I can't believe that people are able to write such poor comments while listening to this song that breaks my heart and bones and takes me lower than any despair on earth.
Nick's music is transcendent. I owe so much to him. His music spoke to me and gave me comfort at a time when nothing else could. It breaks my heart that he never understood how perfect his music was and never lived to see what a massive impact it would have on peoples lives. He was a beautiful soul and I hope he found peace.

Apparently all Nick ever wanted was to reach out to people and touch them with his music. Lack of recognition for the beautiful music he made was part of what threw him into a deep depression. If only he'd known that decades later, one of his songs would go on to be viewed over 2 million times... I hope he's at peace now, wherever he may be.

Has anybody else had the experience that the first few times hearing nick drake, he didn't make a very strong impression? But he grew so strongly on me, as time went by, and I now invariably state him as my favorite musician. It's hard to pin-point his magic. Ah I'm so happy I know his music, he's the first musician I tell people to check out when we're talking about music.
@antizac At first i was recommended him because i adore elliott smith and i just couldnt get into it, but as you said it grew on me and now hes one of my top 5
@antizac Same here. Had an English professor in college that had mentioned "Pink Moon" once and was curious. Wasn't originally impressed, but later on found myself listening again. Next thing I knew I had purchased a lot of his tunes. :P
cant we just enjoy music for the music instead of acting like some critic... life is judgemental as it is.. shut the fock up and enjoy whatever it is u enjoy.. elliot was great until he took his life and drake is great as well.. and so is many others..
Im trying to compose music like this, but damn, it is incredibly hard. Nick is a genious, but I will never lost the hope of write some good music like he did.
I agree in that Nick is talented! but you need talent to be a good rapper too! not that shitty lil wayne. stop saying that all other music is shit and not talent bla bla bla.. Im sure that you cant make a good techno song or rap at all..
@sessionglobe I agree with you. Good rap definitely takes talent. I think that most people who hate rap only hate it because all of the rap they hear is this mainstream garbage about rims, whores, and bling. Stuff that is hard to relate to and lacks emotion and depth. If you look at some of the early rap songs, they really touched on issues that mattered to people. As rap became more commercial, the airwaves became saturated with shitty songs that have given rap a bad rap.

comparing these two people is like comparing apples and oranges. and don't presume that any performer defines a generation. artists make their art in their own way regardless of the time or age.
@bluesfolkman I love both Elliott Smith and Nick Drake. They're both distinguished individuals who've expressed different things. No use in saying one's better than the other.
Nick Drake fans, would you take a few minutes to go to reverb nation dott comm slash Garcon Rouge (sorry, have to write that way to post it), listen to a few tracks, and then message me what you think. I've never put up any music before and want to get some objective opinions of people that don't know me but at least listen to similar music. It's all rough but I need some feedback. there's even a Nick Drake cover of "know". thanks.

@PuffSmelly Yep, but his mother was also a musician that played the piano. I also think that Nick Drake was heavily influenced by Jackson C. Frank's 1965 album, because Nick Drake did several covers from that album in his Family Tree album.

if you like this you'd love tha carter 3 by lil wayne. wayne is kind of the nick drake of this century. sounds trolling if you only know two songs by lil wayne like most people who hate on him, but its true
@sansdeity420 I can't agree at all m8. Lil Wayne is very overrated and too mainstream to even be compared to Nick Drake. A lot of people say Alexi Murdoch is this generations Nick Drake, but they are different in many ways.
...So you're saying Lil Wayne and Nick Drake are not comparable. That's interesting because I think they are very similar. In fact, when I first heard this song I thought it WAS Lil Wayne. I think Wayne got the idea the idea to tattoo his face from Drake.
And which one was it that sang the song about punching the girl in the back of the head while doing her in the ass, was that Nick Drake or Lil Wayne?
Thank you!!! Whrerever you are, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Apparently all Nick ever wanted was to reach out to people and touch them with his music. Lack of recognition for the beautiful music he made was part of what threw him into a deep depression. If only he'd known that decades later, one of his songs would go on to be viewed over 2 million times... I hope he's at peace now, wherever he may be.

Has anybody else had the experience that the first few times hearing nick drake, he didn't make a very strong impression? But he grew so strongly on me, as time went by, and I now invariably state him as my favorite musician. It's hard to pin-point his magic. Ah I'm so happy I know his music, he's the first musician I tell people to check out when we're talking about music.

@antizac At first i was recommended him because i adore elliott smith and i just couldnt get into it, but as you said it grew on me and now hes one of my top 5

@antizac Same here. Had an English professor in college that had mentioned "Pink Moon" once and was curious. Wasn't originally impressed, but later on found myself listening again. Next thing I knew I had purchased a lot of his tunes. :P

Enough comparisons between Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. I'm sure everyone is passionate about one, the other or both. But they aren't the same.
And for all the people on a roll about comments regarding how talentless music is, I've managed to build an entire dubstep track in about 20 minutes.

I agree in that Nick is talented! but you need talent to be a good rapper too! not that shitty lil wayne. stop saying that all other music is shit and not talent bla bla bla.. Im sure that you cant make a good techno song or rap at all..

@sessionglobe I agree with you. Good rap definitely takes talent. I think that most people who hate rap only hate it because all of the rap they hear is this mainstream garbage about rims, whores, and bling. Stuff that is hard to relate to and lacks emotion and depth. If you look at some of the early rap songs, they really touched on issues that mattered to people. As rap became more commercial, the airwaves became saturated with shitty songs that have given rap a bad rap.

comparing these two people is like comparing apples and oranges. and don't presume that any performer defines a generation. artists make their art in their own way regardless of the time or age.

Nick Drake fans, would you take a few minutes to go to reverb nation dott comm slash Garcon Rouge (sorry, have to write that way to post it), listen to a few tracks, and then message me what you think. I've never put up any music before and want to get some objective opinions of people that don't know me but at least listen to similar music. It's all rough but I need some feedback. there's even a Nick Drake cover of "know". thanks.

@PuffSmelly Yep, but his mother was also a musician that played the piano. I also think that Nick Drake was heavily influenced by Jackson C. Frank's 1965 album, because Nick Drake did several covers from that album in his Family Tree album.

@sansdeity420 I can't agree at all m8. Lil Wayne is very overrated and too mainstream to even be compared to Nick Drake. A lot of people say Alexi Murdoch is this generations Nick Drake, but they are different in many ways.

"Lil Wayne...to even be compared to Nick Drake"
...So you're saying Lil Wayne and Nick Drake are not comparable. That's interesting because I think they are very similar. In fact, when I first heard this song I thought it WAS Lil Wayne. I think Wayne got the idea the idea to tattoo his face from Drake.
And which one was it that sang the song about punching the girl in the back of the head while doing her in the ass, was that Nick Drake or Lil Wayne?
